Quotes from :
Digital technologies and the museum experience: hand-held guides and other media by Loïc Tallon and Kevin Walker.
"Mobile digital technology offers museums, zoos, aquaria, botanical gardens, and art galleries many valuable and unique opportunities to increase access to their collection and to enhance their visitors' learning and enjoyment".
"Key to the success of mobile digital technology in a museum is a detailed understanding of the visitors' needs, wants, expectations, and behaviors. Research into visitors' reactions to and use of mobile digital technology-supplemented by simular research into fixed kiosk-based computer exhibits-is beginning to shed light upon these issues and to provide useful guidance as to how to develop genuinely effective mobile digital interpretation for museums".
Digital technology-in the form of static kiosk exhibits or as hand-held mobile devices-offers museums many opportunities that traditional print-based or live interpretation can not provide. It offers visitors access to vast resources of information from which they can search and select items of interest, providing museums with the opportunity to cater to people with different learning styles seeking very different types of information.
Chapter 3 Designing mobile digital experiences by Ben Gammon and Alexandra Burch
"Digital media, well designed and wisely used, are important tools that can enhance visitor interaction and learning in the museum, ensuring that these environments inspire and provoke curiosity and further understanding among visitors with varying backgrounds, interests, and knowledge levels".
